Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari Thursday emphasized the imperative need for an overhaul of traditional warfighting machinery to align with the evolving battlespace dynamics during the General BC Joshi Memorial Lecture at Savitribai Phule Pune University in Pune.

Speaking on the transformation of the Indian Air Force (IAF) into a contemporary and future-ready aerospace force, Chaudhari acknowledged the challenges posed by the increasingly cluttered, contested, congested, and complex nature of the future battlespace.
